The drama continued today on the July 1 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful where now the Logan sisters, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Katie (Heather Tom) actually got into a shoving match over Katie secretly unveiling Brooke’s daughter Hope (Annika Noelle) as the new creative director behind Logan’s new fashion house.

After the revelations went down publicly at the Logan fashion show, Brooke continued her confrontation telling Katie, she is going to bring Hope back to Forrester Creations to relaunch the Hope for the Future line. However, Katie is not about to let that happen. Is Hope?

At the end of the episode, Hope walked in on her mother and her aunt (who is also now her boss) going at it and begged them to stop as Brooke wants Hope to return to Forrester pronto.

Annika Noelle gave some insight to TV Insider on Hope’s current stance on her big exit from Forrester and the impact it will have now and down the line for so many characters.

EXPECT FIREWORKS

“The reverberations are felt throughout,” Noelle shared. “You’re going to see it impact multiple characters across the board, and their different reactions. It impacts Zende (Delon de Metz) very differently from how it impacts Deke (Harrison Cone) from how it impacts Brooke from how it impacts Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric (John McCook). To see how each character processes this differently, whether they’re viewing it from a place of empowerment and, ‘Good for you, it’s about time,’ versus this being the ultimate betrayal, is such a fun thing, and I can’t wait to watch the air shows and to watch the work of everyone else on the canvas. There are such juicy things coming from this fallout.”

The actress added, “I love being able to watch everyone else play, Heather Tom and Katherine Kelly Lang are like watching two masters at play, and the fallout is going to be a spectacular display of fireworks.”

As to what this means for Hope’s future (not her diamond!), Annika enthused, “I’m really excited about the storyline because I’m really hoping that it solidifies her coming into her own. I think so much of her has been looking for validation in others, so what I’m hoping is that this is the breaking point for her to finally stand in her strength and in her decisions and not doubt herself or question herself so much.”

Coming up on the Friday, July 3 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, official spoilers share: Brooke’s anguish over Hope’s betrayal leads to a dramatic breaking point.

So, what do you think of Hope’s choice? Glad she jumped ship from Forrester to Logan? Do you hope she does not waffle and stays put and becomes a sought after designer in her own right with her own power? Or do you think how she betrayed those who loved her and were counting on her at Forrester will weigh-on her so much, that within short order, she will head back to Forrester leaving Katie searching once again for a lead designer and visionary?

Hope need to stay at Logan

yes

Hope has to expand her horizons professionally and personally – ultimately she should branch out on her own entirely and perhaps come head to head with Steffy who always seems to want things to go her way, and throws a hissy fit when they don’t. Brooke should also just show some understanding and stop treating her daughter like a possession or an infant.

Slaps are in order.

yes

hope return to fc



No. She should stay. All the self righteous people at Forester lying and making up stories of the truth is getting old. Will had the obligation of keeping his family’s business secret so Electra needs to grow up and stop listening to RJ he is biased of course. Also Brook acting like Katie is a thief and Hope a child??? Hope is a Spencer and So is her husband. Now she and her Brother can be proud and independent and not controlled by Forester any more. Zende and Electra can join Logan also!! This would be awesome!! Brook your selfish angry attitude is getting old, please!!

I totally agree. Storyline needs to keep moving forward. Sick of Brooke’s accusations that are completely out of line. For goodness sake, be PROUD of your daughter! Although what did Hope actually do? It’s Deke’s designs. ‍♀️

Yep! Sick of Brook she needs to go away.

Agreed!

hope retrun to fc

No way Hope stay at Logan and be your best self with your brother

There is a right way and wrong way to change jobs. I dont blame Hope at all. But I think she should have told her Mom and Stephanie. Nice to Brooklyn. Like a bat out of hell to Stephanie. I can not stand Stephanie. Literally can’t stand her. Such a brat and talks down to everyone. Even Ridge.

You go hope it’s your turn to fly

Published

It had become abundantly clear that roomies Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and PCPD detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) seem destined towards a romance on General Hospital.

In fact, to get Lucas all hot and bothered (although he does fully let on), during the Friday, October 16 episode, the good doctor helps Joe pick out something less stuffy to wear to a bar to meet people.

However, the moment is met with Joe taking off his shirt in front of Lucas and doing a quick change from sport coat and button down shirt to a more relaxed casual button down shirt. In fact, the ABC soap opera even called out the moment as their clip of the day (see below).

MAJOR STORY TEASE FOR JOE

Bennett spoke with OUT in a new feature about what may be on the horizon for the by-the-book Joe and the moral Lucas, and how he learned that once the producers and writers on a soap script in a shirtless scene, if it goes over well, said actor, can expect many more in the months to come!

“I’m so excited for the audience to see where my character goes on General Hospital. It’s going to be monumental and I think people are going to love it,” teased Bennett. “I was shirtless in an episode and so petrified to shoot it,” he added. “I wanted to look my best and feel good. I really worked hard to get my body to a good place and I did it.”

STAYING CAMERA READY

However as Jonathan points out, now he is finding himself half-naked in upcoming scenes as officer Joe! “I think I shot myself in the foot! Now that I did it once and it turned out well, every few weeks I read a script and I’m coming out of the shower, changing my shirt, or in the bathtub,” revealed Jonathan.

So, how does he keep camera ready? “I’m in the gym more, I have a better diet,” pointed out Bennett. “You have to stay healthy if you’re going to be shirtless every few weeks! I’m gay, an only child, and an actor. Of course I love the attention!”

While Bennett’s Port Charles story is going to reveal itself in the coming months, you can also see Jonathan back as the host of The Food Network’s Halloween Wars 16th season which concludes on Sunday, October 25.

Now below. check out the scene in question from Friday’s GH entitled, “Lose the Shirt.”

Weigh-in: What do you think will be “monumental” that Jonathan has teased that viewers will find out about Joe in the coming weeks? Are you feeling the on-screen chemistry between Joe and Lucas? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Wil Traval Talks His ‘General Hospital’ Debut and Being Paired with Kelly Thiebaud

Wil Traval

The Friday, October 16 episode of General Hospital marked the on-screen debut of the mysterious Jude, played by primetime vet and Australian-born Wil Traval.

While not much has been revealed just yet, Traval spoke to TV Insider in his first conversation since joining the iconic ABC soap opera in a new interview out today.

As GH fans witnessed, Jude was introduced in scenes at a bar with Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and it would seem this may be her new leading man after things went south between Britt and Jason (Steve Burton). Traval said of working with the Daytime Emmy-winning Thiebaud, “I can’t speak more highly of her. I think she’s fantastic. It’s the biggest delight in my life to be working with her.”

FROM BROKEN BACK TO PORT CHARLES

As it turns out, Wil was supposed to be on board for a very short visit to Port Charles. However, as he revealed, things didn’t go the way he planned and his stay got extended!

“Originally, it was going to be a short guest role, I believe, and at the end of the week I got a call saying they might want to offer me a contract on the show, which was a real surprise and delight.” the actors shared.  “And the rest is history from there.”

The road to General Hospital was not an easy one in some other respects. Traval was in the middle of recovering from a car accident that broke his back when he got the call to submit a self-tape for the role of the mysterious stranger back in June. Suddenly, he found himself getting a callback which in turn led to a chemistry read with Kelly Thiebaud.

WHO IS JUDE?

In the week to come, General Hospital viewers will learn Jude’s connections to the residents of Port Charles and his true identity.

With an Australian contingent on the canvas, and its tentacles throughout GH history including: Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer); Robert Scorpio (the late Tristan Rogers); and Josslyn’s father Jax (last played by Ingo Rademacher), and Jerry Jacks (last played by Sebastian Roche), one would think Jude HAS to be tied to these characters from down under, or does he?

So, what did you think of Wil Traval’s on-screen debut as Jude? Who do you think he will be revealed to be connected to? Do you think Jude will make a solid leading man for Kelly Thiebaud’s Britt Westbourne in story? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
